Spent $22 on a brick tong this spring and it saved my back on a 3 day wall job

Picked one up at a supply yard in Toledo after my foreman kept bugging me about carrying stacks by hand. I figured it was a gimmick but three days of laying 8 inch block up a scaffold convinced me otherwise. Carrying 4 bricks at a time beats the old two hand shuffle any day. Any of you run tongs or do you just tough it out with gloves?
